Fairy liquid and a Sponge, oh and some WD40 to polish it

ok, so im on euro car parts drawing up a list,

hows this for starters?

meguiars gold class shampoo 1.9ltr
meguiars quick clay set
meguiars step 2 polish
Autoglym aqua wax kit with polishing cloth

that lot is £40 with discount.

what sponges, drying cloths, applicators are best and how many of each should i look at?

Cheers

Wash mitt as above mate, not sponges as they tend to trap the dirt........

Meguiars Car Shampoo, Autoglym Clay Kit, Autoglym Paint Restorer, Meguiars Swirl&Scratch remover, Autoglym Super Resin Polish, Carnauba Wax (Blue bottle Silver lid) and to finish some Demon Show Shine.

I use Autoglym Vinyl Gel for the bumpers and stuff, makes them shiny shiny and Strawberry Foam dashboard cleaner from Halfords.

And plenty of Microfibres, Sponges, 2 Wash and Rinse buckets, Special glass cloth and Synthetic Chamois as the leather ones stink like f***

Meguiars polish and wax is really hardwork

Autoglym SRP and HD wax

I have found the SRP really chalky..............

Fair enough I know what you mean

the HD Wax is top notch though

Not tried that.......... yet

Rain X water repellent, awesome on the windscreen of the car and bike and also the visor on my lid

Brilliant product

Rain X is ok but doesn't last long at all, what you need is some Gtechniq G1 Glass Sealant, it's amazing stuff and lasts forever (well 20,000-30,000 miles) Or if you do mostly town driving, ie. lower speeds and such you can use G3 as this repels water at lower speeds but doesn't last as long. The G1 is much more durable than the G3 though and the G3 doesn't like wipers as they tend to remove it.

Another good glass sealant is Autobrite Repel This gets great reviews, especially for the repellancy at lower speeds

Nice one, thats what we need in this thread, MORE RECOMMENDATIONS

finally got round to placing an order, went for megs gold class shampoo as well as autoglym aqua wax. will slowly pick up more bits as i go. quick question tho, bought everything a week ago through eurocarparts to make most of the discount and have had nothing except order confirmation since. I knew it was bank holiday monday so expected a delay in dispatch but theyve still not dispatched it. anyone else had trouble with them in the past??

I have a question which might fit here, i have loads of hairline scratches on the outside of the windscreen and heard there was a polish that can help this.

Does anyone know what it is?
